They'll also be denied access to hormones and forced to detransition. I can't begin to tell you just how cruel all this is."

You shld care b/c trans people are human beings w/inalienable human rights, but even if you don't, you shld care about this for your own safety.
1st they violate rights of those they think no one will fight for, then they come for rest of us."

10:14PM · Feb25 2026"Because of Nat'l register, trans folks can't move to another state and get a new license until they remove suspension on their KS license.
They can't even escape this by moving to another state.
I can't begin to describe how fucked up this law is. People can't drive to work, school, the DMV to fix this w/out threat of being arrested for driving on suspended license. It literally removes ability for trans KSns to participate in society."

8:43PM · Feb 25, 26"As of tonight, licenses of trans people across KS are being invalidated en masse, overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know you’re living through history, so let me assure you: it’s happening now.
Not just driving: voting, work, travel, picking up pkg, applying for credit, applying for job, renting, filling Rx, visiting loved ones in hospital. Not expired, but legally invalid."

9:23 PM · Feb 25, 2026"Let me say this: fairly high chance a court will stay the law & you will forget the Kansas Legislature tried to criminalize nearly every trans person in the state.
That will be a mistake.
Youth gender-affirming care bans were found obviously unconst'l first time a court looked at them. What changed? SCOTUS are right wing fanatics and GOP HATES that you have rights under constitution.
They are coming for all of us. Openly. Lawlessly."

@_L1vY_ @jessdkant This is beyond fucked up. It’s heinous. KS has by law effectively un-personed trans people and will criminally punish them for living. I want to puke

That kind of power—to void gender on official documents, to compel gender conformity—is terrifying and it will not stop here."

@Ulrich_the_elder But that's a reasonable take! These are not reasonable politicians

@mast0d0nphan There will be. But they're just relentlessly throwing as much as they can on the fire to see what burns before it can be pulled out.

It's so sad and could have been avoided if high profile Democratic campaigns had done the right thing and stood up for the Trans community in the 2024 elections.
And it's not like effective ads couldn't be produced.
Amplify Freedom, built by the Freedom Over Fascism consortium including Way to Win, ASO Communications, We Make the Future, and others produced multiple highly effective ads including https://www.amplify-freedom.com/allc4/defiance
